Following invention introduction is with reference to accompanying drawing, wherein:
Accompanying drawing 1A is an expression current-mode circuit of the present invention;
Accompanying drawing 1B has equational calcspar, the design proposal of its expression embodiment of the invention;
Accompanying drawing 2 is detail circuits synoptic diagram, and it comprises and is suitable for the current driver that uses with the present invention;
Accompanying drawing 3 is circuit of expression current sense;
Accompanying drawing 4 is combination synoptic diagram of acceptor circuit of the present invention.
Embodiment
Accompanying drawing 1A is the sketch of expression a preferred embodiment of the invention.Input signal Vin control and selection output current signal Ip and Im, wherein output current signal Ip and Im are driven 10 in transmission line 12.Driver 10 is the current drivers with high output impedance.In practice, can there be single twisted-pair feeder or two transmission lines, but as described below, because Ip and Im are unequal, therefore have return current, wherein this return current is absorbed by the current sense amplifier when using twisted-pair feeder, if perhaps existence shields then passes shielding.Transmission line is not basic to actual use the of the present invention, if but do not use, then being necessary for return current Is provides certain to help the path of noise.In a logic state, Ip is the output positive current that enters first transmission line 50, and Im is the input negative current from second transmission line 52.In opposite logic state, Ip is the negative current from first transmission line 50, and Im is the positive current that enters second transmission line 52.In another preferred embodiment, can have and only be driven into an electric current in the transmission line.
If use two transmission lines, wherein every transmission lines has 50 ohm characteristic impedance, and then 100 ohm Rt is placed the end across signal conductor, and is used for these two lines of termination.In addition, Ip and Im are unequal each other, make to exist to pass the return current Is of shielding.And in this preferred embodiment, owing to the end of Rt across two transmission lines, thereby the two ends of Rt are biased in certain positive voltage.Preferably, in a logic state, Ip is+1.0ma that Im is-0.5ma therefore to have return current Is, in the shielding of 0.5ma.In opposite logic state, still exist 0.5ma to return by shielding.
Accompanying drawing 1A represents to receive the current sensing circuit 54 of unequal electric current, and wherein this unequal electric current forms fail-safe basis of the present invention.When the driver of unequal electric current cuts off the power supply, the external noise electric current that appears on the differential data line will flow in the same direction.It shows as the common mode current noise signal source that is suppressed (reject) by differential current sense circuit 54, discusses in more detail as following.Driver output end by short circuit situation together under, clean 0.5ma signal (Ip is less than Im) will flow to the two ends of Rt along path downwards, and therefore differential sense 54 picks out this fault mode.As described below, lower by the shake that difference current causes, this be since transfer period between effective input current much larger than the fault secure bias current.
Shake is also than low in the voltage-type circuit, and this is because the voltage gain of current sense is low.Use current sensing circuit almost to eliminate the negative effect of high gain voltage reception amplifier capacitance multiplication (capacitance multiplication).In this preferred embodiment, current sense is configured to parallel with Rt, and is described in greater detail below.Current amplification circuit 56 receives the electric current that senses, and last, current/voltage (I/V) converter 58 provides the CMOS output signal with the criterion calculation circuit compatibility.The present invention produces the voltage signal away from termination and sensing circuit.On I/V conversion this point, circuit parasitic capacitance is relatively little and invalid.
With reference to accompanying drawing 1A, difference current sensing 54 has very little voltage amplification, has therefore got rid of any Miller capacitor effect.Effect-common-mode voltage gaim that the difference characteristic of current sense has reduced common mode voltage signal is very little or negligible.
Accompanying drawing 1B represents the present invention's allowing current noise.Usually, a part of i1 of Ip and Im and i2 pass differential current sense circuit 54.Current sense 54 is designed to have difference current threshold value Ith, wherein must reach this difference current threshold value in order to discern effective logical signal.Therefore, the difference between Ip and the Im must cause equaling between i1 and the i2 difference of (or greater than) threshold value Ith.Usually, the formula 13 and 15 that is respectively applied for i1 and i2 is represented as the function of Ip and Im.If deduct i2 from i1, ecbatic in item 17 then.Because i1-i2 must equal or exceed Ith, 19, therefore in item 21, represent Ith formula as the function of Ip and Im.See that by observing easily Ip-Im must be enough big, surpasses threshold value so that guarantee i1-i2.Under normal fail-safe condition, if the difference between Ip and the Im is enough not big, then the difference between a and the b (current distribution factor) is also less, and this makes and is difficult to keep formula 21.In the application of reality, this means that in case receiver enters the fault secure pattern, receiver is with respect to noise just very firm (robust).See easily that from 21 the common mode current noise is cancelled out each other, thereby make present embodiment very firm with respect to the common mode current noise.In a preferred embodiment, the present invention allows the difference current noise of 100uA.Other embodiment can be designed as has bigger noise immunity.Note that i1 and i2 are positive, but have unequal value.If they equate, then do not have difference when logic level change occurring.These electric currents are unequal each other usually, except line short circuit together.Under this condition, receiver is by the insurance of the internal fault in the accompanying drawing 4 bias transistor P F1And N F1Keep stable output.This skew provides fails safe action of the present invention, and still, in a preferred embodiment, only approximately the drift current of 20uA produces very little secondary power consumption, and in fact embodiments of the invention do not use extra dead band (die area).
Accompanying drawing 2 expression can be used according to the invention a kind of current driver circuits.Here, when V1 when low, P1 connects, and the I1 of 1mA via the P1 output terminal as Ip.If V2 is high, then N2 connects, and the I2 of 0.5mA is via the negative Im of N2 output conduct.The logic state of V1 and V2 is reverse, and I2 output is as negative Ip, and I1 exports as positive Im.Typically, for top operation, V2 is designed to the logic opposite with VI.Yet, if drive P1, P2, N1 and N2 (not shown) independently, can be with they whole disconnections, thus in transmission line, there is not electric current.Should be noted that do not have common mode feedback circuit (CMFB) with the common mode electrical level of regulated output voltage.Typically, such output driver is general to the low-voltage differential system.Native system does not need CMFB, and this is because employed specific receiver 54.Like this, do not use the CMFB circuit just to save chip space and power.
Accompanying drawing 3 is synoptic diagram of the current sensing circuit consistent with a preferred embodiment of the invention.At this, nmos pass transistor N3 and N4 that two diodes connect are biased, with electric current sucking-off I3 and the I4 from transmission line respectively.Can so that overcome any threshold value, and present obvious impedance, thereby minimum level ground influence the termination of transmission line along the curve biasing N3 and the N4 (not shown) of similar diode greater than Rt.In a preferred embodiment, each shows as about 1K ohm N3 and N4, although can use other impedance as known in the art.If when N3 and N4 are rendered as about 2K ohm across the transmission line that is equivalent to 100 ohm, then can make Rt equal 105 ohm, perhaps suitably higher or lower, so that keep suitable transmission line termination.Yet, as known in the art, even carefully diode transistors is remained on high impedance status, also may be owing to there is certain harmless ringing (ringing) in certain impedance mismatching.For example, if Rt is 105 ohm across 100 ohm transmission line, and the transistor that connects of diode since certain handle former thereby present very high impedance, 5 ohm do not match and will only cause approximately reflection coefficient then less than 2.5%.
Also with reference to accompanying drawing 3, consider that Ip is positive 1ma, Im is negative 0.5ma, and then the electric current I s that returns by shielding is 0.5ma.Can design N3 and N4, make that It is 0.65ma, wherein N3 draws the I3 of 0.35ma, and N4 draws the I4 of 0.15ma.Difference between sensing I3 and the I4 or 0.2ma, as described below, with presentation logic signal, for example logical one.When Ip and Im when the input signal to current driver changes state during the exchanging electric current level, the negative logic signal of this logical signal of sensing.In this state, I3 and I4 exchanging electric current level, and the difference of 0.2ma is sensed as logical zero.Therefore, the logic from " 1 " to " 0 " changes the variation that causes 0.4ma the electric current.
Accompanying drawing 4 expression is positioned at the acceptor circuit of more detailed complete of piece termination circuit end place, accompanying drawing 1 of two transmission lines 50 and 52 and realizes.As shown in the figure, Rt is connected to Pin-from Pin+, wherein Ip and Im drive the two ends of Rt, as shown in Figure 3.Accompanying drawing 4 is synoptic diagram of expression current sensing circuit 54, current amplification circuit 56 and current/voltage I/V change-over circuit 58.
In accompanying drawing 4, form current sensing circuit 54 by the circuit that is connected to each end of Rt, wherein current source I5 and I6 are each line feed.As known in the art, typically by the PMOS transistor biasing is formed these current sources to positive track (power rail) 60.The current sensing circuit of I3 comprises N5-N8.N7 and N8, and the current sensing circuit of I4 comprises N5 '-N8 '.N7 is the nmos pass transistor that diode is connected with N7 ', and they share the leakage current that equates with N8 and N8 ' respectively.Because N7 has identical leakage current (I5) with N8, thereby gate pole-source voltage of N7 and N8 is identical, suppose it is the transistor of coupling.Be directly applied for N5 '-N7 ' at I3 for the argumentation of N5-N7, therefore no longer repeat below at I4.N6 is the transistor that diode connects, and itself and N5 arrange the linear resistance that forms the controlled xtal pipeization, are biased away from the flex point zone with the device that diode is connected, and have therefore improved current sensitivity.By the gate voltage control N5 of N7 and N7 ' and the resistance of N5 ', this depends on the electric current among diode interface unit N6 and the N6 ' again respectively.Like this, be used to revise the resistance of N5 or N5 ', make and to improve two watt current differences between the branch road from the current information of sensing element (diode interface unit).Resistance also has damping effect to the high frequency noise that appears on node A and the Ab.In this circuit structure I5, N7 and N8 control I3 by mirror effect, and reduce across the voltage of N5 and N6, and be as described below.Identical electric current passes N5 and N6, makes their gate pole-source voltage be equal to each other, and equals the voltage at Pin+ place via the N7 mirror image.Like this, the offset voltage of the N6 of diode connection can be compensated, and the impedance of N6 can be controlled.
The gate pole of N9 and N10 is connected to and is labeled as drain electrode A, N6, thereby forms current mirror.Equally, the electric current among N11 and the N12 mirror image N6 '.The size of design N10 and N12 is to provide by the amplified current of I-V change-over circuit via B and Bb sensing.In a preferred embodiment, when I3 when 0.15ma changes to 0.35ma, this variation is reflected in I9 and I10 via current mirror amplifying circuit 56.Biasing fault secure bias transistor P F1And N F1, insure bias current to form internal fault, thereby,, just output remained on known state such as driver power down or cable short circuit in case receiver enters fail-safe condition.In a preferred embodiment and as known in the art, can make up biasing 1 and biasing 2 by the band gap device, wherein the band gap device is together with P F1And N F1Characteristic selected together so that about 20 microamperes holding current is provided in I9 and I11.Can be by changing transistorized size, as known in the art, making I10 is the amplified version that I3 changes.Equally, P9 is aligned to the transistor that diode connects, and can be biased (not shown), and I10 mirror image I9, but can be exaggerated by the size that changes P10.Gate pole-source voltage of P10 and P9 equates.This provides electric current to amplify, and makes that I10 is the amplified version of I3.Similar circuit receives I4, and provides amplified version at I12.
The circuit of voltage transitions is carried out in item 58 expressions of accompanying drawing 4.Two outputs B and Bb are imported into the gate pole of N13 and N14 respectively.I13 and I14 are respectively the mirror images of I10 and I12.P13 and P14 are current mirrors.There is the fully differential operation of using B and Bb, voltage output is provided at the C place, its driving N 15 and P15 action, thinking provides the CMOS logic level of track to track.
Should be appreciated that the foregoing description proposes as an example here, its many variations and replacement are possible.Therefore, the present invention should be thought broadly that only to be defined as following appended claims described.
